Steam and SensorDry Plus™ Features
Profi le 650 model dryers now incorporate two new
steam features. These units do not utilize a separate
steam generator. These dryers use a water valve and
a steam nozzle that functions as a "misting" orifi ce. It
works in conjunction with the
heat generated by the dryer to
de-wrinkle clothing.
Located in the Timed Dry Cycles,
the steam cycles are:
• Steam Refresh - Freshens up
to fi ve slightly wrinkled dry
garments, reducing wrinkles
and odors to extend for
another wear.
• Steam Dewrinkle - Helps
remove stubborn wrinkles
from larger loads, quickly
and conveniently, even from
clothes left in the dryer from
the day before.
A "Y" connector installed on the
washer's cold water inlet hose
supplies water to the dryer. The
water valve inlet is located at the bottom left on the
rear panel of the dryer. A hose carries the water to the
misting orifi ce.
Other Features Include:
• Rotary electronic controls with Adaptive Logic -
Simplify cycle selection with easy-to-use rotary
dial controls. Adaptive Logic allows the dryer
to adapt to household conditions for effi cient
performance.
• 5 heat selections - Offer enhanced drying
performance and fabric care.
• Cycle countdown display with LED indicators -
Know exactly how much time is left for each cycle
with bright display and lights.
